Spike Pulse: Multimedia in Real Time
Light, sound and effects that aren't played back but generated in real time out of the ride. Spike Pulse opens up a new dimension of staging on the roller coaster.
The Roller Coaster That Turns Riders into Drivers.
Spike Racing brings the principles of a racing vehicle to the roller coaster. Using the throttle and boost, riders influence speed and acceleration within freely programmable limits while the vehicle remains safely guided by the track. The vehicle-mounted Spike Drive responds in real time, enabling acceleration of more than 1 g and individually tailored ride profiles.
Onboard sound, lighting, video, telemetry and timing turn the ride into an interactive competition. Every lap becomes a personal and shared racing experience with strong repeat appeal.
Spike Racing combines lightweight vehicles, a modular vertical track, and onboard drive, control and multimedia technology. This enables flexible track layouts for limited spaces, existing buildings, rooftops and challenging terrain.
The system is suitable for theme parks, indoor entertainment centers, retail destinations, resorts and cruise ships.
One Platform. Multiple Configurations.
